Crysis 2, Dragon Age II and Total War: Shogun 2: We're about to get spoiled with some big demos in the coming weeks. I'm not quite sure what the deal is with Shogun 2 being Steam exclusive. Isn't releasing demos about getting as many people as possible to try it?
It has been quiet on the concert front for the past few months, but it looks like things are about to change with Queens Of The Stone Age and Rock of Ages musical, as well as our own Evening with Kevin Smith.
Tomorrow, we're having a Social Network evening after a dinner of
spaghetti and meatballs, and then possibly Unknown over the weekend. Not quite sure which of the three I'm looking forward to the most.
